Pokemon Rumble U Coming To Wii U

The latest edition of Japanese gaming publication CoroCoro has revealed that a new game in the Pokemon Rumble series will be coming to the Wii U. The game will be a digital download on the Wii U eShop and will feature all 649 Pokemon of generations I-V. Pokemon Rumble U will feature support for up to four players and up to 100 Pokemon will be able to battle at the same time.

Because Pokemon Battle Revolution was basically Gen 4 Pokemon Stadium and received mediocre reviews at best. Pokemon Snap was a decent spin-off though. People complain about the lack of new IPs by Nintendo (and second-party devs for Nintendo), yet that’s what the Rumble series is and you’re just complaining about wanting your old IPs back.

I really enjoy the Rumble games. I do hope that, with X and Y coming soon, that they’ll do a Stadium/Colosseum type game again. A full adventure would be nice too, but I don’t see that ever happening. But they should figure out what made Stadium and Colosseum so good and make a new version of it.
